Which word fits better in this sentence?

You can find your\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ in a certain field, and also learn from other people of the same field to improve. Which fits in better, strength or talent. Just finish my exam and came across this sentences and I am currently pondering about it.

niche "strength" and "talent" are also OK, If I have to pick from those, I'd choose "strength", because "talent" is more specific to arts - such as singing or acting, whereas "strength" is quite a generic term for ability within vocational subject areas.

P.S. re. "...also learn from other people of the same field to improve." Better, "also learn from *others within* the same field." "to improve" is rather tautological, because learning implies improvement.

Neither, really. "Find one's strength" *is* an expression, though it refers to literal strength; "find one's talent" is not really a phrase (not that you *couldn't* use it). So I guess the intended answer is *strength*. But really neither is something people would normally say in English.
